She is a Carney Man out of an Iceman cow. She is a half sister to our hannibal donor. She had a BW of 82lbs. We haven't showed her this year, but she is our second best heifer(2nd to my hereford Ha!!).

We used who made who with one of our simm angus herd cows. The calf was built like a brickhouse! Ended up going to our county fair and did very well.

We haven't bred wmw to any of our first calf heifers, but all of ours have come very light. We try and breed a few to him every year just to get replacements out of. We love them.

You can breed wmh to heifers. He will work very well with Angus cows that have the clubby look,ie; Juneau heifers,lutton heifers, some N.Improvement heifers[or cows from these bulls].Good Sim /Angus or Maine /Angus or Sim/maine,even seen some good one's out of Saler's/Angus.for all of the winners he sired in his time,and for all the really good heifers he has produced,that have went on and made great momma cows that can produce,I believe he is the greatest of the greats as far as club calf production,hands down. heat wave ain't even close.

I have used WMW on heifers many times and have never had any problems. They seem to always come around 80 pounds or less. They are good calves too! Good Luck!

Who works well on heifers, but he is out dated.  Dr. Who is a much better bull to use for your situation.

Who Made Who might be an older bull, but is still dang good!! I would not recommend Dr Who on heifers because his birthweights are very inconsistent. I have had them anywhere from 75 pounds to 155 pounds at birth. I would definitely go with WMW for the first time!

I agree, WMW is an older bull but I've seen some good ones out of him. As for the Dr. Who birthweights I'm not sure, I really havent been around enough of his calves at calving time to know how big they come or if they're an easy pull. The reason I inquired about WMW is because I've got him and Dirty Harry in the tank and if enough people have had good experiences with him I was going to use him instead of DH. I called a few people as well and it they all say the same as on here. Thanks everyone for your input!!!
